Practice question
A woman reports repeated unwelcome sexual messages from a coworker that create a hostile workplace. Management declines to investigate solely because the coworker is her peer rather than a superior. Assuming the conduct meets the statutory elements, which is correct under RA 11313?
- Peer status categorically excludes workplace sexual harassment.
- Only a demand made by a company president can be covered.
- The messages are immune whenever sent electronically.
- The Safe Spaces Act expressly allows covered harassment between peers, so the stated reason for dismissal of the complaint is unsound.
- A coworker can never affect workplace dignity.
